Because proud residents are a region's most effective ambassadors. More than 40 political party leaders signed a reso- lution after a 10-hour meet- ing in the capital called by Prime Minister Reza Yousuf Gilani to formulate a response to fresh Ameri- can claims that the army and the nation's spy agency is supporting the Haqqani network. U.S. officials say the Haqqani group is based on the Pakistani side of the Afghan border and is the most deadly militant fac- tion in Afghanistan. The vaguely worded resolution, born of compro- mise between the country's feuding parties and reflec- tive of many of their anti- American and pro-Islamist views, called for peace with insurgents in Afghanistan. It also said the country should seek dialogue with Pakistanis in the tribal regions close to Afghanistan, apparently in reference to militants there battling the Pakistani state. The head of the army and the country's main intelligence agency, which together control Islam- abad's policy toward Afghanistan, addressed the meeting, which was closed to the media. Few expected the dele- gates to stake out a position that challenged the army, and it is unlikely their rhetoric will ever be reflect- ed in policy. Other similar resolutions have been ignored. At the very least, it was a signal to Washington that the country's elected representatives supported the military, and as such will do nothing to ease strains with Washington.

''Pakistan must initiate dialogue with a view to negotiate peace with our own people in the tribal areas and a proper mechanism for this be put in place.'' The claims last week by Adm. Mike Mullen, Amer- ica's top military officer, sent relations between Islamabad and Washington plummeting and triggered a backlash against America. The resolution also ref- erenced veiled U.S. threats of unilateral action against the Haqqanis if Pakistan does not act, saying the ''the Pakistani nation affirms its full solidarity and support for the armed forces of Pakistan in defeating any threat to national security.'' U.S. officials have long talked with Islamabad about links between Pak- istan and the militant Haqqani network that is behind much of the vio- lence in Afghanistan. But those discussions were mostly held in private, in the hope that Pakistan could gradually be per- suaded to sever the purport- ed ties with the group. But Mullen seemed to signal a new approach last Friday when he told Con- gress that that Haqqani net- work was a ''veritable arm'' of the spy agency, which he said supported the militants in a recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Pakistani officials have denied the allegations, and accused Washington of making them a scapegoat for U.S. failures in Afghanistan. Shaikh Rashid Ahmed, the president of the Awami Muslim League, said the head of the army and the spy agency told partici- pants that they had no link with the Haqqani network, but that any contacts they did have were with the ''political wing'' of the movement and were con- cerned with the formation of any future government in Afghanistan.
